Polish manufacturer of offshore wind foundations, ST3 Offshore, has issued a third tender looking for buyers for the company, now reducing the price by further 10 per cent.
In the current tender , the starting price has been reduced to PLN 187,744,000 (around EUR 41.3 million) net. “This is 20% less than the actual value of the company. It is a very attractive offer for investors” , said the company’s Official Receiver.
The new price cut follows the one from the second tender, issued in March, when the initial asking price was lowered by 10 per cent the first time.
The Polish company won its first major offshore wind contract in 2015 and has delivered foundations for the UK Race Bank and German Borkum Riffgrund 2 offshore wind farms.
